The Future Is Bright: The 2022 Ram 1500 Lineup

Take a look around and count how many Ram trucks you see in the parking lot or on the road next to you. There’s no question that Ram trucks are some of the most popular in America because of their ability to effortlessly blend capability and power with luxury, comfort, and innovation. This has certainly been the case since the 1980s when Ram made its debut in the Dodge lineup only to later earn a lineup of its own separate from the Dodge brand.

The amicable divorce between Dodge and Ram marked a significant shift in the truck industry as Ram focused all its efforts on delivering a capable road warrior perfect for American drivers. This has been Ram’s focus ever since as the automaker positioned itself at the helm of innovation to produce trucks that prove capability and luxury aren’t mutually exclusive. Nothing shows this more than the future of Ram’s truck lineup and everything Ram has planned for 2022. Read on to learn more, then contact our Orange Coast CJDR team.

2022 Ram 1500 Limited 10th Anniversary Edition

Ram turned heads in 2012 with the debut of the Ram 1500 Limited, a truck that set the standard for luxury and sophistication. The 2022 Ram 1500 Limited 10th Anniversary Edition celebrates the truck’s decade of success on American roads, and once again, is the benchmark for everything a Ram truck stands for – luxury, performance, and innovation. It’s the most luxurious truck in the fleet and, dare we say, on the road.

The 2022 Limited 10th Anniversary Edition showcases Ram’s keen attention to detail. The truck is immediately distinguishable by its exclusive Blue Shade exterior paint color. It’s equipped with a multifunction tailgate, adjustable cargo tie-down hooks in the bed, and a Mopar center-mounted bed step that makes accessing the truck bed more convenient.

The interior is where the Limited 10th Anniversary Edition truly shines and pays homage to the standard of luxury set by the first-generation Limited. The 2022 model is based on the new Indigo/Sea Salt Grey interior color palette that’s accented by premium wood, leather, and metal materials. The seats and door inserts are wrapped in quilted leather, while the headliner is lined in suede for a truly refined look. A metal pedal kit complements the Aluminum Litho bezels, unique shifter center cap, and other metal accents throughout the cabin.

2022 Ram 1500 Laramie G/T and Rebel G/T

The 2022 Ram truck lineup has something for everyone, whether you’re looking for luxury, performance, or capability. With the Limited 10th Anniversary Edition setting the benchmark for luxury, Ram focuses on performance with the debut of the 1500 Laramie G/T and the 1500 Rebel G/T. The performance-focused trucks will be available as Crew Cabs and come equipped with a 5.7-liter V8 engine with Ram’s eTorque mild-hybrid assist.

The 5.7-liter V8 is the heartbeat of the Laramie G/T and the Rebel G/T, but you’ll find additional performance-inspired features that earn the trucks their G/T designation. Both the Laramie and the Rebel are immediately recognizable with their sport performance hoods and exterior G/T decals. They’re also the first non-TRX models to come with paddle shifters, a metal pedal kit, and a console-mounted performance shifter, all of which give the G/Ts a sport-like feel and the driver more control.

The G/Ts come straight from the factory with a cat-back exhaust and cold-air intake, the former of which improves airflow in the exhaust pipe to improve horsepower and efficiency. It’s also responsible for delivering a unique sound that’s fitting for a G/T performance truck. Inside, the G/Ts feature a performance-focused design and a suite of innovative technology like Ram’s Performance Pages that gives you real-time performance insights at the touch of a button. As far as comfort, the G/Ts have plenty to offer with bucket seats that mold to your body for a better ride, whether you’re in the driver’s seat or riding as a passenger.

2022 Ram 1500 BackCountry Edition

Completing Ram’s 2022 focus on performance, luxury, and capability is the 2022 Ram 1500 BackCountry Edition that’s available on the Big Horn and Lone Star models. The BackCountry Edition is focused on off-road capability and is available in the 4×4 Quad and 4×4 Crew Cab configurations. The adventure-ready rig is powered by Ram’s proven 5.7-liter V8 engine that you can get with or without the eTorque mild-hybrid assist system. But what makes the BackCountry Edition ready for adventure?

The 2022 BackCountry Edition focuses on rugged capability, durability, and comfort whether you’re cruising the highway or navigating the trail. The truck immediately distinguishes itself with its body-color grille surround and tonneau cover, as well as its black tu-tone exterior paint color. It also features black badging, exhaust tips, headlamp bezels, mirrors, and running boards. The interior features exclusive black styling with bucket seats and all-weather Mopar slush mats that make cleaning up after your muddy adventures on the trail a breeze.

What truly sets the BackCountry Edition apart is that it comes straight from the factory, ready for the trail. This is courtesy of the standard 4×4 Off-Road Group that adds tow hooks, a rear electronic locking axle, off-road calibrated shocks, all-terrain tires, hill descent control, and skid plates that protect the front suspension, power steering, fuel tank, and transfer case. Hill descent control gives you plenty of confidence when descending steep grades by taking over control of the throttle and brake so that you can focus on steering. The skid plates give you added peace of mind that the truck’s vital components are protected when traveling across or over debris and obstacles like rocks and water crossings.

Ram knows that heading down the trail often requires extra gear, and that’s why the BackCountry Edition comes standard with the Bed Utility Group. Ram’s renowned RamBox system is integrated into the bed and offers additional storage, but the Bed Utility Group takes the truck’s functionality one step further. The package adds adjustable upper tie-downs, a deployable bed step, bed lighting, a bed extender, and a spray-in bed liner, all of which add to the functionality and longevity of the BackCountry’s bed.

Ram’s Future Is Bright

The 2022 Ram truck lineup is impressive and has something to offer everyone. Those looking for luxury don’t have to look further than the 1500 Limited 10th Anniversary Edition, while drivers with a need for speed will certainly find that and more with performance-inspired trucks like the Laramie G/T or the Rebel G/T. Off-road enthusiasts can also fuel their passion for adventure thanks to models like the BackCountry Edition that’s ready for the trail as soon as it rolls off the assembly line.

What makes the 2022 lineup even sweeter is that Ram continues to raise the standards of innovation by offering new technology like the Uconnect 5 system and a host of safety and driver-assist tools that keep you connected, confident, and safe when you’re on the road. This is in addition to everything the Limited, G/Ts, and BackCountry trims already offer and adds to the incredible value of the Ram brand. It’s no wonder why Ram trucks are among the top sellers in America and one of the best-selling vehicles here at Orange Coast CDJRF.
